Ontario Nature Facebook Request

Ontario Nature started a new Facebook campaign, asking people to “like” them on their Facebook page  http://www.facebook.com/OntarioNature . With one simple act you can help raise money for Ontario Nature. A generous donor will give Ontario Nature $1.00 for every new like, up to $1,000!
The money raised goes to:

  • Saving endangered species like Canadaʼs largest terrestrial turtle, the snapping turtle, which people are allowed to hunt even though itʼs a species at risk.
  • Protecting Ontarioʼs wilderness in places where itʼs most threatened, such as along the Niagara Escarpment.
  • Conserving unique landscapes like the Oak Ridges Moraine, the source of clean drinking water for hundreds of thousands of Ontarians.

 Give us a like if you support these campaigns, and weʼll do the rest. Thank you for liking us!

Ontario Field Ornithologists Volunteer with Us!
Do you want to know if there are rare birds in the Lambton County area?  Do you want to report a sighting?
ONTBIRDS is an email service sponsored by Ontario Field Ornithologists. Subscribers provide Ontario bird sightings and birding hotline updates. ONTBIRDS is to report rare vagrants, birds on the Ontario Review List, regional rarities, unusual numbers or species mixes, and birds out of season or in unusual locations. It is not a "chat" line.
